What Technical Measures Can a User Take to Prevent Being a Victim of a Sandwich Attack?

The most effective measure is to set a low slippage tolerance for the trade, making the sandwich attack unprofitable for the attacker. Users can also utilize private transaction relays (like Flashbots Protect) that send the transaction directly to a block builder, bypassing the public mempool where attackers monitor for large trades.

Trading on DEXs with anti-MEV architectures (e.g. batch auctions) is another protective measure.
